CIGAR AND CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application filed August 16, 1926. Serial No. 129,539

This invention relates to a holder for cigars and cigarettes, thegeneral object of the invention being to provide the holder with meansfor separating the moisture from the smoke as it passes through theholder so that nicotine and other liquids will not be introduced intothe mouth of the user.

Another object of the invention is to so -arrange the holder that thefiltering means can be easily renewed when necessary.

This invention also consists in certain other features of constructionand in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to behereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawingsand specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had totheaccompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like orcorresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1is a longitudinal sectional view through the improved holder.

Figure 2 is a section on line 2-2 of Fig ure 1.

Figure 3 is a view of the partition disk. Figure 4 is a View of one ofthe filtering coils.

As shown in these views, the holder is composed of the two sections 1and 2 which are threadedly connected together, the mouthpiece section 1being formed with a socket 3 therein which is closed by the section 2which is shaped to receive the cigar or cigarette. A disk 4 having acentral I hole 5 therein is placed in the socket 3 and divides the sameinto two chambers. A coil 5 is inserted in each chamber, said coilcomprising absorbent material 6 held on a core 7 of Wire or the like.This coil may be composed of the pipe cleaning devices now on themarket.

From the foregoing, it will be seen that the smoke passing through thetwo chambers will have any moisture therein taken from it by theabsorbent material of the coils, the partition also acting to preventmoisture from passing from one chamber to the other. This partition alsocauses'the smoke to circulate in the first chamber so that it will comein better contact with the first coil. Thus there is but little moisturein the smoke when it reaches the second chamber and this remainingmoisture is taken up by the second coil. The smoke will reach the mouthof the user dry and practically free of nicotine. As will be seen,

by separating the sections, the coil-s .can be taken out and new onessubstituted.

tion having a socket in its inner end threaded to receive the threadedportion of the first section, said second section closing the chamber,said second section having a passage therein communicating with thecham- V ber and having its mouth enlarged to receive a cigar orcigarette, a partition in the chamber dividing the same into two partsand having a central opening therein and a coil in each chamber composedof absorbent material placedon a wire coil. i

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
